Ignatius Piazza , 39,
who runs a defensive firearms training institute near Bakersfield,
Calif., told The ENQUIRER, "We're building a world-class resort
centered around the safe and responsible use of firearms.

"We're not building another Waco. We're not connected with any
militia or extremists. A lot of our customers are in law
enforcement. We've already got our ranges built at Front Sight, and
we're even training deputies from the local Sheriff's Department.

"We've sold 29 out of the first 32 plots, all to law-abiding,
upstanding, God-fearing citizens who respect the right to bear arms.
We've got no crazies!"

The town, 40 miles west of Las Vegas, will eventually have over
600 full-time residents living in 117 family homes. It will have its
own stores, school, church, and airstrip — along with a monument to
the Minutemen.

Gun-toting residents will live on streets with names like "Second
Amendment Drive" and "Sense of Duty Way."

Noise will not be a problem, says Piazza,
because homes will be built a good distance from the firing
ranges.

The first residents are expected to move into their Front Sight homes before the end of 2000.

There'll a defensive-driving track, a rappelling cliff, and the
latest video training simulators.

"I know we have critics," added Piazza.
"But Front Sight is part of the solution to gun tragedies and
gun violence.

"Guns aren't a problem, it's the lack of training, and we give
law-abiding gunowners high levels of training in everything from
handguns to submachine guns."

Meacher, 52, told The ENQUIRER: "This will be the safest town in
America. Everybody living here will be armed and trained — any
criminal would have to be deranged to try anything in Front
Sight."

"It'll be a safe community of like-minded individuals, a second
home I eventually retire to," said future resident Dean Gamburd, 48,
a Los Angeles businessman.
